Porsche Wins Pikes Peak Hillclimb

[bobkin611]

Porsche is precision.

[trd2009]

if car manufacturers put videos like this on tv (shorter length of course) theyre sales would go through the roof

[baghitzu]

this reminds me of NFS porche

[shanens187]

gotta have big ones to drive a RW drive car w/that much power up the hill... not as amazing any more since they paved 75% now, 75% less fun!!!

[rafa281]

@shanens187 yeah but as he's climbing all the time the rear wheels get most of the grip in comparison to the front ones so it's not all that hard.

[odensmeadhorn]

That was one hell of a bit of driving right there.

[cdelosa]

I can do that!!! .....in mi bicycle...maybe

[HRG86]

Race cars are very friendy and easy to drive until you reach the 90th% anything over that comes to who you are and what you made of, i have to say tho in races everyone pushing the last 5% and in most races that 5% has 20 drivesr in it fighting for the 1st place so yea good driver, the fact of the matter is there are 10000 of FANTASTIC drivers out there they just dont get lucky to get a team and COUNTLESS practice sessions, runing THIS ROAD WEEK in advanced any way its nice to watch nice setup

[dretep1]

The Driver is Jeff Zwart. Phenomenal driver and an incredibly nice guy!

[dretep1]

the Driver is Jeff Zwart.

[enilton7]

Pilotar na terra com um carro de quase 500cv, para segurar na curva não é fácil.

[ivojiggy]

who is the driver?

[JABevan]

Awesome footage!!!  Reposted, with attribution, to laptime.tv.

[12valvepower1]

i miss the dirt 

[vnceh]

sick driving skills

[NZMk2VR6]

Awesome!

[bocon007]

top 10 video - amazing driving

[ViveBallet]

Adrenalítico!!!

[ReveretheHood]

good ride.

[tonus888]

Can I have a go

[scaleopdriver]

remember, this is with rear wheel drive people..not AWD like most rally cars has. impressive.

[bobdadog27]

@scaleopdriver yeah but this guy beat the 2WD record.. for a second i thought this beat the Suzuki monster.. but didn't think it would, that thing is lethal. look that up if you want to see an insane pikes peak video

[alex14469]

for a second i thought this was nfs shift

[FerreiralovesFerrari]

@alex14469 Sounds like it =P

[12valvepower1]

@alex14469 nope 

[maceyjosh03]

amazing!!! ha i would love to do that for a living

[SpotterGijs]

Damn, this guy makes it all look so easy, but wow.. That must be freakin' hard and terrifiying to drive a car up that hill so fast!

[Terabass]

Its beautiful to see how controlled he is, this is truly man & machine working in harmony, clearly he was not forcing the porshe around the bends but let gravity and physics work harmonics with the car. just so coool :-) respect. .. all that while still maintaining safe limit from crashing.

[1955BAMBAM]

HE GOES UP TO 4TH GEAR, NEVER WENT TO 5TH, GOES UP THE REDLINE JUST REDUCING THE GEAR, AND HE IS THE WINNER!! SO MUCH PAN FOR TO LITTLE EGGS!! GO TO PERU AND YOU WILL LEARN MORE!!

[Linken200]

@1955BAMBAM LOL you clearly see on the gear indicator in the middle of the dashlogger that hes up to 5th a few times...

[thenumberator]

@1955BAMBAM he does use 5th........... 2:09

[Ajc176]

keep er lit :)

[SungSamuel1003]

awsome! i feel like driving!

[Drumer4990]

this is intoxicating.

[DoomCity202]

someday

[sxybob4u]

nice vid, that was some serious acceleration on the first few coners! :D And good to see someone put an in car camera somewhere where we can see whats happening for once.

[sarokas12]

Those will be the Gran Turismo graphics in 2030 =D

[VisionEditing]

PM Me your email for lockerz invite! So i can get my xbox 360! :D

Please thumb me up!

[jtuning6]

Where is the Suzuki Scudo (Baleno) Pikes Peak? LOL

[xautofahren]

really cool

[bryanx0102]

LOL Kumikalle is this guy serious? This guy just smashed the record by 38 seconds.

[s3fredo]

REAL "driving" is the video oh VATANEN in Peugeot 405 Turbo16 at Pikes Peak.

[franciscombo]

5:01??

in my math, it was 5:08!

the race starts at 0:12

the race ends at 5:20

[kimbrolin]

you just gotta love to see Porsche dig up dirt again! Amazing video! any pics of the exterior?

[cayman187]

a lot of trees out there

[Kumikalle]

Nice powerful car, but with a professional driver could get better time.

This video must be from his practice drive. The driving is still poor and performance is unfocused.

[Thschulie]

@Kumikalle i´d like to see you driving that hill up in a racing-porsche..

he did a great job and had a hard fight at the last part in which the car was drifting pretty bad

[ThePHxyc]

@Kumikalle ... douche.

[Redzo79]

@Kumikalle

Jeff Zwart (the person driving the car in the movie) IS a professional driver.....and this part shown here was NOT a full race hence the "slower" driving.

[OneBuki]

@Kumikalle make it better

[bte320]

Your Gran Turismo 3 times dont count.

[ArthurBodartFsb]

@Kumikalle Are you blind? He's drifting his porsche like if he was running for a rallie, but even faster, this dude has got skills.

[Outpost41]

@Kumikalle Your a douche, i bet you would have flown off the side of the hill in the first 5 seconds, he did an amazing job.

[mountjoy23]

@Kumikalle yes you are so right, epic public fail...

[5partan110]

@Kumikalle LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL EPIC FAIL!!!

[scribklu]

"racing, not posing"!!!

[luciferrrrr]

really f*cking good driver!!!!! congratz porsche!!

[dulasbotter]

Nice Driver

[Dantius2009]

Very nice. Lovely. Must be like never-ending-orgasm to do this ride. :-)

[CaptainPommes93]

The sound is awesome .... thats the great Porsche Boxer engine sound *___* ... very great video

[viasevenvai]

@CaptainPommes93 all i hear is the running gear transmission.

[TravisBick1e]

Congrats to Jeff, Porsche and Pirelli!

Too bad this is only his qualifying run(start to Glen Cove-about halfway).

I really hope they release his entire run race day footage.

New time attack class record by 38 seconds!

Imagine what he could do in a race prepped GT2 RS or awd 911 Turbo S.

:D

[HuFranklin]

now the Korean Hyundai Red Bull team would have nothing to say since the Porsche broke the record by 38 seconds... German people know how to build great cars... what a great lead

[tt6368]

now let's see a mini do that.

[ItsCricky]

That guy is a really good driver. That looks really fun to drive, just imagine being behind the wheel on an opens stretch of highway.

[curtsm]

I've driven that road a few times when I lived in Colorado - what an amazing drive, very impressive.

[TraxxasJoe]

Nice going Porsche!! What Porsche was he driving?

[kizzagt]

@TraxxasJoe A GT3 cup

[HuFranklin]

@TraxxasJoe 911 GT3 Cup

[LbsOfTech]

@TraxxasJoe 997 gt3 cup

[roadbeef]

Flat out in 6th at 1:47 ... the best!!!

[tuppel]

@roadbeef He "only" gets to 5th before shifting down

[pvmhawk]

this could be a way for a new 959?

[mrjost55]

wow it's packed...

[geforce5700fx]

EPIC

[zmansporscheboxster]

Nice.

[GTtuner56]

I think that the driver is a driving god, and has an enormous amount of guts! For going on pavement and dirt on rain tyres and beating the RWD hill climb record from previous record holder Rhys Millen ><!

[EJ25RUN]

Has anyone footage of Jeff's SCCA Rally 964?

[jordanr1504]

that looks so slow

[davery99]

Bawls. Did you see some of those cliffs ;)?

[Bigluck944]

Great control! PORSCHE FTW

[101111101101]

beautiful in 1080p!! i love you porsche! congrats on the win

[deKay88]

yay 1080p :D

[ifthenmels]

Was the track longer in the past?

[EFAIR3]

he beat Rhys Millen by over 20 seconds, thats the most amazing part!

[ukrainiandude1]

That was amazing!! He did a couple drifts towards the end if you didn't notice. Great control over the Porsche too!!

[holymacarony]

Wow. I'd love to see this one from a helicopter-view :)

[PorscheLieber]

The glory days are back :)

[blastun]

@PorscheLieber they never been over !!!!!

[TybeeZ4]

The GT3RS Cup car is NOT a turbo. frhotek

[DigitalXfear]

awesome, great control

[juveda1]

Looks like the race engineer studied the track well, and the gear ratios for the starting tarmac section were perfect! not just the driver thats done a good job their, the whole team has put in a massive effort, Good performance lads!

[Louis71500]

Beautiful flat 6

[Rebo8221]

@Louis71500 best part, it does not even sound like a F-6

[porschecarreragtmay6]

Wow, really nice driving! It looks really hard to control all of that power at 2 wheels in the dirt, but I bet that engine helps with traction a lot. Porsche, next year, I say put the new 911 GT3 Cup on there. Then see what happens. Or, maybe even put the 911 GT3 RS on that hill climb.Nice job, Porsche.

[45650jimmy]

Awesome!!!!

Flat6 Powahhhhhhh!!!!!

[frhotek]

wow, rough day at the office...he had a tough time of it; close-ratio gearbox saved him; sounded like the engine had very narrow torque band even with the turbo(?)...and he missread the road a few times and was very busy at the wheel,

but those cars are a handful anytime! good job not losing it and taking a record!

[DPerjar]

@frhotek No turbo, it's a GT3, this isn't a track, this is practically a rally stage, good luck reading the dirt.

[XR4turbo]

This car sounded fantastic passing me at bottomless pit!

[sirtristan01]

when on dirt, i'd like a stripped out Turbo please :)

or Carrera 4S.

[rrpl430]

all rally cars should be like this

[Harley9500]

very nice!!

[somekidzenvy]

looked like so much fun...until the pavement ended! sick driving.

[MrCosmin94]

good driver...good car

[MrCosmin94]

this track is very hard...Porsche rocks !

[JDEGASx]

wooooooow in a few years PC games look like this. DIRT2 looks awesome allready! thanx porsche!

[Tossmonaute3]

The car is Awesome, the pilot is Awesome.

PORSCHE POWER !!

[XakaB]

[MrSkylinePower]

That is the true POWER ...

[Arjandeiro]

Epic =)

[roushin84]

great porsche i like

[nikothecrazygreek]

nice but you should have run a gt3 r hybrid, 4wd for more grip

[qooL62]

@nikothecrazygreek > 2WD Time Attack class

[Bader88]

Awesome!! Congrats :D

[GODLIEK]

Would be awesome if it could do it on the full stretch as well.

[ununoctiu]
